Glory On The Beach


"Glory On The Beach"
8" x 10" oil on gessobord
$500

The Hawaii Beach Morning Glory comes in a variety of colors and is a relative of the sweet potato.  The Hawaiian name for it is "Pohuehue".  For the reference photo I deliberately took off my slippers and put them by the flowers.  That dark spot in the lower left side of the painting is a hole for little sand crabs to scurry into.  I think the reference photo was taken at Sandy Beach on Oahu, which is very popular with surfers.
